A 1982 Communications of the ACM paper by Anthony I. Wasserman and Steven Gutz, titled 'The Future of Programming', is being shared and discussed again among developers. The decades-old piece, which speculated on how programming would evolve, is drawing attention as readers compare its predictions with today's realities, including the rise of AI-assisted coding.

Why now: Debates about AI and the changing nature of programming are prompting people to revisit old predictions about where software development was headed.
